Anyone who has travelled with children will know the sheer volume of luggage you need to take with you whenever you travel. Gone are the days of 1 suitcase, now 1 suitcase just about fits their toys and nic naks the kids insist on bringing. But the Trunki might just be the answer, with its generous space for all your kids items and doubling up as a ride on for tired legs the kids will be desperate to take their very own suitcase on holiday.

There are 2 new Trunki's on the scene now too, Rocco the racing car and Cassie the cat! We were very kindly offered one to try out, Evelyn chose Cassie and instantly fell in love when it arrived. The eye catching purple and cat details really stand out and give it the extra cuteness factor for sure.

Whenever Evelyn goes quiet you can almost guarantee to find her playing mums and babies with her dolls. She loves playing with her dolls, caring for them and playing mums so of course she wants to bring them with her everywhere we go! However her dolls are quite big and bulky and she gets tired carrying them around quite quickly, so when I heard about these new Tinsy Winsy Weeny tots dolls I knew they could be a solution!

Can you believe the summer is over already!? There is definitely more of a chill in the air and the nights are getting darker earlier and earlier by the day. We drove past some conker tree's on our way to school this week and my son was so excited about going to collect conkers again this, which for me thinking about what Autumn crafts we could do.

So here are some of our favourite Autumn crafts, if you do have a go at any of them I would love to see your results over on my Facebook page or Twitter page!

Conker catapillers!

Gather up lots of different sized conkers and get a grown up to drill a small hole through the centre of each one (we used a thick needle and thread for some but it was quite tough so a drill would be quicker). Thread each one on to wool or string making sure you use your biggest conker first as this will be the head, we then placed an acorn casing at the tail end of ours. Tie of the ends of your string and you could now draw a face on your catapiller or even paint it! We used some googly eyes and a pipe cleaner for ours.

This week I have waved both James and Evelyn off for their first days at Junior School and Pre-School! Barely able to believe that this time has whizzed by already and that I'm actually stood here when it felt like only yesterday I had a baby in my arms.
